You may have noticed that we skipped the blog posts for December and January- it just shows how swiftly time is passing and in the blink of an eye, here we are in February already! Did you know February is heart health awareness month? Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions. Talk to your doctor about working together to manage and prevent this fatal disease. In the meantime, take advantage of our slightly chilly but still sunny climate and go out for that brisk walk or hit the hiking trails while the rest of the country braces for the polar vortex!
